Chapter 172
"Can this matter be told outside?" After the meeting, Fang Jiahui took Lin Wei's arm and was overjoyed. It was rare to see her lose her composure, with pride written all over her face.
Lin Wei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you tell your family." Sooner or later, word will get out, and this kind of thing cannot be guarded.
But there’s no need to be so excited, right? In the future, if you don’t say that you are a frequent visitor to the Queen’s house, you will also be in contact with people of this level. It’s just that Xiangjiang has not yet developed. In the future, these businessmen in Xiangjiang will also rise. People like Yuan Guodong who have many friends, what level? Everyone can reach it.
Wu Ming kept observing Lin Wei's expression and found that she did not look very happy.
He didn't ask when there were people around. After getting in the car, he said, "Don't you want the Queen to come?"
"No," Lin Wei denied. She took the villa design drawings over and said calmly, "It can provide a platform for the fashion show. "The heat of lesbianism is naturally good."
Love comes or not, she is just worried that this activity may be messed up.
Lin Wei didn't want to follow in Mrs. Eaton's footsteps and end up wasting the clothing exhibition, which would be more of a loss than a gain.
Forget it the first time, this fashion show must be successfully held the second time.
Some things just can't stand the hassle.
Wu Ming saw that she didn't say anything and didn't ask any questions.
If anyone else had heard that the Queen was coming to an event she held, she would have been extremely happy, but she was actually not happy at all.
After getting to know each other for a long time, he discovered that Lin Wei's classification of people's attributes was not based on status, but more on cooperation partners. So she didn't think her "cooperation" with the Queen would be pleasant?
The reason?
...
Contrary to Lin Wei, Fang Jiahui returned home happily.
"Do you think I need someone to help me improve my English?" She said as she took off her coat to the servant, "I always deal with the government and my English is not up to par..."
As a result, she walked to the living room and found her eldest daughter who had never returned home. She was surprised for a moment that she was back, and immediately saw Fu Wenfan standing up.
"Sorry for not saying hello in advance. Ruyan missed you and came in a bit of a hurry." Fu Wenfan explained politely.
Fang Jiahui said "Ah", not knowing what to say, and subconsciously looked at Yuan Guodong.
"What's your expression? If you don't want me to come back, just say so. There's no need to force it." Yuan Ruyan picked up her handbag and stood up angrily.
Fang Jiahui said quickly: "You said you won't come back, girl, why are you so angry?"
Yuan Guodong put down the tea cup, frowned and said: "Just stay well, don't scare us, Sister Zhang has already taken care of you. Room."
Yuan Ruyan was persuaded by Fu Wenfan to sit down again.
Fang Jiahui sat next to Yuan Guodong and looked at her daughter and son-in-law opposite. She felt complicated and unspeakable. She wanted to say a few words of respect, but looking at her daughter's face, she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing and make this devil unhappy again. .
Yuan Ruxin sat on the single sofa on one side, saying nothing, treating herself as a mascot. When she spoke, her sister would choke her.
The atmosphere became a little stagnant for a while.
"Just now, did your mother say you want to learn English?" It was Fu Wenfan who finally started the topic.
Fu Wenfan's mother screamed naturally, but Fang Jiahui felt uncomfortable hearing it, but it was hard to say anything. If she didn't let him scream, with her eldest daughter's temper, she might spend her whole life with them.
Fang Jiahui put on a smile and continued talking about this topic.
Fu Wenfan naturally brought the topic to Fang Jiahui's work.
When it comes to this job, Fang Jiahui has a lot to talk about. She can usually talk to Yuan Guodong, but her friends don't understand.
"Don't be in a hurry to learn English. Go step by step. You can find a foreign teacher. Slow down..."
"You can't be slow," Fang Jiahui patted her legs and said, "The queen is coming soon. If I slow down, I won't be able to speak at all." I can’t even tell you. You can help me think of a way to make a surprise attack, sharpen the gun before the battle, and teach me some things that are useful in daily situations.”
Fu Wenfan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: “I’m afraid my mother is the first batch. The person who received this news is really amazing."
Yuan Guodong also looked at his wife and said in surprise: "Is the queen coming?"
"No, we are just talking about this in the meeting today."
Fang Jiahui said in high spirits . I told them.
None of her family members paid much attention to her work, let alone the rich ladies. They only praised her for her ability and greatness, but they couldn't tell her anything about how great she was. They were all perfunctory to her.
She originally thought it was just to help with the docking activities, but it turned out to be as big as a queen.
She was the first in the family to know about such a big event as the Queen's arrival in Hong Kong, which shows how great a job she is doing now.
"But this matter is not completely certain, so please don't talk about it outside." She added.
Although Lin Wei said it was fine, she was afraid that the message would be broken.
"Mom, are you going to meet the Queen?" Yuan Ruxin was also very happy.
Fang Jiahui crossed her hands on her legs, pursed her raised lips and said, "That's why you have to learn English, otherwise you won't be able to speak English when you see her."
"Mommy, you're so awesome." Yuan Ruxin praised her with dignity.
Yuan Ruyan glanced at her sister and said coldly: "It's just a pretense."
The voice was not loud, but it still reached Yuan Ruxin's ears. Yuan Ruxin rolled her eyes at her, but said nothing.
Fu Wenfan's voice rang out: "Ruyan has always told me that my mother has great ambitions and rich opportunities in life, but she is stuck in the house and unable to show her full potential. Now, looking at it, the only difference is an opportunity. My mother is indeed a talented person who does extraordinary things. "
These words were a compliment to Fang Jiahui's heart.
She smiled and waved her hands: "Everyone said that Lin Wei was capable, so I just followed suit."
Upon hearing Lin Wei's name, Yuan Ruyan frowned and looked at Fu Wenfan.
The smile on Fu Wenfan's face did not change, he grabbed her hand, and then followed Fang Jiahui's words and said with a smile: "Mother, don't belittle yourself. She can use you because she must have taken a fancy to your extraordinary ability."
...
The Queen came to Hong Kong. Word spread quickly.
The newspapers were abuzz. Some people welcomed her, while others cursed her. Why did she still have the nerve to come?
Whether they would come or not was unknown, so Lin Wei could only make two preparations. The Hong Kong government asked them to design a dress for the Queen and give it to the Queen as a gift that day.
Lin Wei handed it over directly to the designers, and multiple brands worked together to complete it.
She couldn't just be busy with this one thing, the results of the investigation at the old post office came out.
Looking at the twelve companies that were notified on the page, Lin Wei looked slightly sad.
"The good news is that they, like Fu Sheng, have also been disqualified from bidding, and our opponents have been reduced by almost half." Wu Ming comforted.
The bad news he didn't tell was that the Hong Kong government had conducted a serious investigation this time. It checked the government and the companies involved, and finally identified 12 of the more than 30 companies that were bidding.
Although I don’t know if anyone survived, the number is almost half. These people are really checking.
The Hong Kong government canceled the bidding qualifications of the companies involved and imposed fines. Public officials involved were demoted or dismissed.
This result can be regarded as a priority for enterprises.
But it’s shameful. Which company doesn’t cherish its reputation? I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable to be thrown out on the newspaper like this.
They probably also feel aggrieved. Everyone is doing this. If you don't do it, your road will be blocked. At this time, do you insist on being unique and being a gentleman? It’s only because of this trend that the British Hong Kong government is corrupt.
Someone will definitely put this account on Lin Wei's head. If she hadn't caused trouble, this investigation would not have happened at all.
This is also the reason why Lin Wei pretended to be stupid that day. Who wants to offend so many people at once?
"That's all I can think of." Lin Wei smiled a little helplessly. Every gain must come with a loss, and you can't take advantage of everything.
However, in such a climate, the most admirable people are those who do not follow evil ways from beginning to end.
That's the remaining companies.
They are Lin Wei's opponents in this bid.
However, there will be some new companies joining the effort.
There are still many strong companies. This kind of bidding strength is on the one hand, but also depends on luck on the other hand.
When other conditions are similar, the most important thing is the price game.
There are more than ten or twenty companies, how can you guarantee that your price is the best?
The most beautiful thing is to be able to win the target by pressing the opponent's bottom line.
Lin Wei originally used Kowloon Aviation to bid, but this time she chose to let Haoxin cooperate with Dongfang Industrial, a shell company in which they accounted for 49%, to bid.
Kuman expressed his dissatisfaction with this. Kowloon Aviation can also participate in the bidding, which is regarded as double insurance. The winning rate of the two companies is higher.
But this is against the rules, and Dongfang Industrial is not stupid. Chu Aidong will definitely not do this.
The future development direction of Kowloon's aviation industry is not real estate, but transportation, hotels, shopping and cultural entertainment. Its own land is enough to support itself.
On the day when the bids were sent, Lin Wei saw a lot of people. Everyone was rushing to the last day of the deadline. This habit was difficult for everyone to break, and they were all afraid that their bottom bids would be leaked.
"Ms. Lin actually came here in person. It seems that we are bound to win this time."
"With your good words, if it comes true, I will treat you to dinner. If you don't get it, I will blame you, Mr. Zeng, for flattering me." "
Haha... No wonder Miss Lin is said to be smart and capable, and she also has a powerful mouth." Zeng Guoxi looked at Chen Hengxi beside her, "You guys really joined forces this time. You really have the courage of young people."
They were all very kind to Lin Wei. They originally lost the bid, but they didn't expect there would be a chance because there were fewer competitors.
Now everyone is relying on their own abilities, but the cooperation between Lin Wei and Dongfang Industrial still surprised them.
Chen Hengxi put one hand in his pocket and said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng's sword is still young, so we are joining the group to keep warm. Otherwise, where would we have the chance?"
When we met, we would chat a few words and compliment each other half-heartedly.
After handing in the bid documents, the two came downstairs.
Chen Hengxi didn't mention the previous incident again, and the two of them were doing business today without any embarrassment.
"Is that Song Ye?" Chen Hengxi suddenly stopped and looked towards the side of the hall.
Song Ye was sitting on a low platform by the window, eating something, like a steamed bun, staring at the documents on his lap with a focused expression. There was a bottle of water next to him.
It was already past meal time, and he obviously took the time to fill his stomach.
"He is really amazing. He used to have both academic and career shoulders, but now he is engaged in both business and politics. How can ordinary people have such energy?" Chen Hengxi sighed.
As he said this, he looked at Lin Wei, only to find that she was distracted and looking at Song Ye for a moment.
Song Ye seemed to have noticed them and raised his head to look at them.
This time Lin Wei did not avoid it.
When their eyes met, Song Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled at them, and then looked away. The whole process only took a few seconds. His dark eyes were calm, distant, and indifferent, without any emotional ups and downs.
The light emotion, the shallow smile, the soft white shirt, and the whole person's temperament are as gentle as a cloud.
Lin Wei withdrew her gaze, turned and left without saying anything.
Chen Hengxi glanced at Song Ye and left.
He was a little curious about the relationship between the two. Did they really separate because of emotional issues as Su Tianrui said?
It looked like Lin Wei was still caring, but Song Ye seemed to have completely let go.
But Song Ye's face is really good-looking, and there are many people peeking in the hall.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart. He was so good. He didn't eat in the office, so why did he go to the hall?
However, being frustrated in a relationship is also a good opportunity to take advantage of it.
...
Although Chen Hengxi no longer mentioned the previous incident, he would always come to Lin Wei no matter what happened.
In the name of the project, I came to talk to Lin Wei about the renovation plan of the old post office and Chinese Bank.
Wu Ming couldn't bear it anymore and stopped him: "It's not certain whether you will win the bid in the end. It's too early for you to say this."
"How is it possible?" Chen Hengxi sat down and said with a smile, "Our quotation is so high. Our goal is to make money at a loss, who would be so stupid?"
Their bottom bid this time is over 300 million. According to the current upward trend, if they do well, they can barely maintain their capital, but if they do poorly, they may even lose money.
No one except Lin Wei knows how outrageously the house prices will rise in the future, so there is no suspense about the price, it is already a certainty.
They were determined to acquire the land of the old post office.
"Remember what you said now." Wu Ming said with a cold face.
Seeing his expression, Chen Hengxi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Ming took a deep breath and looked towards Lin Wei's office.
"Your bid price has been leaked."
Song Ye's eyes were dark and pure, and he stared at Lin Wei quietly: "Yusi Real Estate has got your bid."
Lin Wei looked at him with a surprised expression: "Have you read the bid document? "
Then she stood up and said angrily: "You are a public official now. This is against the rules. Have you ever thought about what you will do if you are discovered..."
"Are you more concerned about this?" Song Ye suddenly shouted. Cut her off.
He stared at the anxious woman in front of him and said softly: "Wouldn't losing the bid make you more anxious?"
Lin Wei was stunned for a while, then slowly sat back, the expression on her face gradually became distant and indifferent.
